Questions from Weald
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Weald?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Normally. Contact us as soon as you have a date and we’ll tell you quickly.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
If the service runs late, we wait; just let us know.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
